Patent

CA 2607371

Disclosed are novel water membranes comprising lipid bilayers incorporating functional aqua- porins. The lipid bilayers are arranged in sandwich structures including hydrophilic or hydro¬ phobic support materials. Also disclosed are water purification devices/systems, including reverse osmosis filtering devices that include membranes having functional aquaporins. Methods of water purification and methods of preparing the membranes are also disclosed. Further, the invention provides for a new type of perforated, hydrophobic polymer film and to membranes containing lipid bilayers having other transmembrane proteins than aquaporins introduced.

L'invention concerne des nouvelles membranes de traitement de l'eau contenant des couches de lipide comprenant des aquaporines fonctionnelles. Les couches de lipide sont disposées en structure sandwich comprenant des matières de support hydrophobes ou hydrophiles. L'invention porte également sur des systèmes/dispositifs de purification de l'eau, comportant des dispositifs de filtrages par osmose inverse qui sont dotés de membranes comprenant des aquaporines fonctionnelles. Des procédés de purification de l'eau et des procédés de préparation des membranes sont également décrits. Par ailleurs, l'invention porte sur un nouveau type de film de polymère hydrophobe et perforé et sur des membranes contenant des bicouches de lipide dans lesquelles des protéines transmembranaires autres que les aquaporines ont été introduites.
